Other info :

* A lake made for pioneering

* Dammed lake on the course of the Truyère.

* Gorges lake situated on the foothills of the Aubrac plateau

* A long thin lake with a few small branches notably on its upstream third

* Upstream third quite open and easy to medium access according to the fishing sites

* The 2/3 downstream are far steeper and difficult to access from the banks making the use of a boat necessary

* Slight daily change in water level and water level often low the end of the season

* Wild lake with very few tourists

* Lake used for night fishing all year round across its whole surface

* Very little carp activity making fishing difficult but as the lake is under exploited some surprises can be had

* Size of the carp population unknown but according to predator anglers who often fish the lake, there are some very large fish hiding in its waters

* It seems that the best time to fish is in the spring when the fish migrate towards the cooler zones mainly situated upstream

* Warning, temporary reserve zone in spring where all fishing is forbidden, day and night
